Roman Tower on Sophienhöhe

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Sophienhöhe, also known as Monte Sophia, is a recultivated spoil heap created by the mining of lignite seams from the Hambach opencast mine.

View of Stetternich and Jülich

Highlight • Viewpoint

The now tall trees that were planted on the "Sophienhöhe" spoil heap as part of the recultivation project block hikers' clear views of the surrounding landscape on almost all trails. A few clearings allow a visual axis, allowing one to let their gaze wander into the distance.
